Dec 6 2013 - Paperilla

Hello! Do you have a feeling something is missing from this layout? Yes, you are seeing correctly, there's no pictures nor journaling! Let me explain why.

Today is Finland's Independence day. Every year our president has a ball this day and it's shown in the television live. Ever since I was a little child I've been watching the broadcast. Watching people arrive, watching what they are wearing and how they greet the president. Every single year since I was about four or five. And I have no record of it!

So this year I took action when I realized it was my time to post to Paperilla blog this day. Our theme in December is "the traditions of Christmas" and as though this isn't actually a Christmas tradition is a tradition we have during the Holiday season and I just needed to document it. So today I'm going to take a few photos of the telly showing the ball and then add the pictures and journaling here.

If you want to see how the layout came together (this far), there's too step pictures below. The first one is taken after I finished the background work with ink, pencil and mist and the other picture has the paper layers but not the embellishments.
